Mama Hissa's Mice

Mama Hissa’s Mice, by Saud Alsanousi, is an apocalyptic and darkly humorous exploration of friendship amid the chaos of a war-torn Kuwait. Centered on Katkout, Fahd, and Sadiq, who unite across ethnic and religious divides to form a protest group called Fuada’s Kids, the story delves into their bold defiance against sectarian violence. Following a devastating attack, Katkout embarks on a poignant journey to find his missing friends, while weaving through the turbulent history of Kuwait and confronting the search for identity in a fractured world.
